    @Killy-If your post was a response to what i said i think you missed my point. I don’t think it’s wrong to go for a big name manager or spend big on players. The point i was making was that it needs to be done in a coherent manner. If you are going to go through 6 managers before getting the right one then letting each define the profile and type of player they want creates the type of mess we are in now. Equally, signing players for the sake of it rather than targeting and acquiring the right ones adds to the mess. My point was we need to define what we want to be as a football club, and hire managers and add players based on that. This would help avoid the disjointed and fucked up manner in which we have been operating for more than 6 years. Its insanity to look at what we have spent and we still dont have a proper spine in the team.

    That’s exactly the point I was trying to make as well. It’s all well and good to go for big names as long as well do it in the right way. The DoF argument is going to keep dragging on as long as we’re seeing this shitshow

    Ole should be applauded for the deadwood he’s managed to get rid of and the 3 players he’s brought in but thats where his credit stops. For far too many years we’ve had to watch a dis-jointed team with no style, cohesion or passion. This has to improve by the end of season or Ole or the coaching staff have to go. We might not have the best players anymore but we should be able to play with a bit of style so that we at least look like a team that is being properly coached. I can take the defeats for a few seasons as long as there appears to be some progress in the way we play.

    If we don’t finish 4th then that’s two season without CL football. I don’t think the likes of Sancho, Eriksen, Dybala and co would be interested in signing for us.

    It’s going to be a tough season and the last transfer window about ensuring there was enough quality to get 4th and attract the players who can get us challenging next season.

    If you was a top player would you consider playing for us next summer without top 4?

    Mac, if all they are coming for is money then would we be any better off than the last 3/4 years?

    City managed to construct a title winning team by offering players top dollar. It can be done but there has to be a plan, our problem has been the scattergun approach to transfers that has left us in the position we’re in.

    @scholesey = No we wouldn’t.

    But I’m not sure we will be in for the “top player”. Seems the club is going the player from clubs lower down the ladder for whom United would be a step up and where there’s no competition from elite clubs. Plus perhaps 30+ oldies who are cheap.

    @hookeddevil – But clubs like City and Chelsea had a project to sell to players ie a vision, plans, transfer budget, top targets etc.

    PS Incidentally – apparently there is a report in the Express about Ed meeting with the Glazers to discuss “cultural change”. I wonder what that could be.

    A change from warm showers to cold would have an immediate effect on players.

    Maybe they’re going to bring Keano in as assistant….. that’d be a fucking culture shock, let alone a culture change

    Would Keanes methods work in the modern game?
